A treat for fans of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Clear History starring Larry David

Any Larry David fans who haven't yet seen Clear History will be pleased to know that it follows the tried and tested format followed by Curb Your Enthusiasm, and the result is a brilliantly funny movie. Although not a carbon copy, Larry's character Nathan/Rolly still has some similarities with the Larry David character from Curb, most notably that they both seem cursed with the same bad luck.

Another similarity is that Clear History was also produced in an
improvisational style, rather than by following a script. According to
Larry David, in some cases this helped create extra unintended laughs,
as for example the character of Frank (Nathan's friend and
co-conspirator in his quest for revenge, played by Danny McBride) was
originally meant to be more of a straight role, but because of Danny
McBride's improvisational skills he ended up with more jokes in the
finished version than intended.

One thing which is different though, is that Nathan has a sinister side to his character and this provides a key element of the plot. The story
sees Nathan Flomm fall out with his friend and business partner just
before the launch of a new electronic car (known as the 'Howard') which
goes on to be the success story of the decade. As a result Nathan loses
out on what would have potentially made him a billion dollars, and
becomes a figure of media ridicule.
